This article was previously published under Q247810 SYMPTOMS
In the ODBC Data Source Administrator, you see two versions of a Microsoft ODBC driver: a standard version and a localized version. An example of two versions of the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle, using the French localized version, is shown here:
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
Microsoft ODBC pour Oracle
CAUSE
MDAC installs localized as well as non-localized versions of Microsoft ODBC drivers. Upon upgrading to a later version of MDAC, the localized entries remain in the system registry.
RESOLUTION
Avoid using the localized ODBC driver entries.
